Re: OT - help again with R2400
Makes a lot of sense to me actually - since Con-ed might well be holding back a bit with what it is doling out due to the excessive heat.. Luckily there hasnt' been an all out outage in my neighborhood (knocking on wood loudly) but scattered ones around the city. I'm sure I would have not just passed out but passed on if I were not in air conidtioned rooms... fingers crossed too Thanks! will let ya know ann Obviously, it had not -always- been doing it.

Paul - It is in the feed tray - I don't load by hand ever however you gave me an idea... maybe I should wait until it says there isn't any paper there and see what happens :-) ann On 8/15/2016 10:11 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Hi Ann, Don’t load the paper prior to hitting print, just leave it in the feed tray and let the printer load it.

Re: OT - help again with R2400
Had similar problems after i upgrded Epson 2400 software last time. It for some reason deleted the printer name, i was informed to go into the preferences and give it a name then all was fine.

Hi Ann, Don’t load the paper prior to hitting print, just leave it in the feed tray and let the printer load it.
